South Kitsap 33 Newport 27

The Knights tied the game at 27 late in the third on an Isaac Dotson six-yard touchdown run, but were unable to hold the Wolves out of the end zone in the final frame as South Kitsap escaped with the 33-27 non-league win.

A Bryce Broom 54-yard touchdown scamper was the difference, along with a South Kitsap defense that held Newport scoreless in the fourth quarter.

Eric Rodan led the ground attack for Newport with 141 yards on 11 carries while Conner Baumann added 92 more yards on 17 attempts. Dotson finished 6-18 in the passing game for 83 yards and an interception.
